The northeastern provinces of China are still the best places to study and practice Chinese. Many learners choose to go to Hebei, Heilongjiang, and Liaoning. These provinces are where native Mandarin speakers speak with the clearest accent. Here are a few cities that are excellent choices for Mandarin study and use in everyday life:

Beijing is also noted for its use of standard Mandarin, although Beijingers do speak with a slight accent. Many other cities throughout China have local dialects however, but the locals will be happy to speak in standard Mandarin with you on the street. Still, you and the locals might have slight challenges in understanding one another compared to, say, Harbin.

Regardless of your location, you can now learn Mandarin Chinese from anywhere in the world—Shenyang, Atlanta or any other city you might call home.

Today, learning Chinese online from the comfort of your home, at your own schedule and pace with a qualified native Chinese teacher is easier than ever.
